“I enjoy Reset’s content about the Chicagoland area. It gives good context on specific issues in a format similar to NYT’s The Daily gives on worldwide issues. My only complaint is a technical one, which is that the maximum volume of the episodes is lower than most of the other podcasts I listen...”Read full review »

“This podcast promotes views of “inequities” in Chicago and that correcting these alleged “systemic” problems requires further favoritism and discrimination based on color and other identity characteristics like sexual orientation. What isn’t understood is the focus on race and favoritism just...”Read full review »

“Bring back Fresh Air. Two hours of this show is miserable. It’s supposed to be a hyper-local show, but the host doesn’t know Chicago. She does not Dona good job of bringing out the best discussions with the guests. She doesn’t ask good follow up questions.”

“Love reset and the topics however not a fan of Sasha she just doesn’t push back in questioning the way Justin and Jen would.
In-depth topics just come off as fluff pieces because she doesn’t steer the conversation ever it’s always the interviewee.”
